This is totally awesome for them and I hope it eventually makes it here as well. A friend sent me a link and the guy was showing how each plant they grow has a bar code from the time it is a seed and through it's entire growth to bud. Pretty impressive.

While I would certainly think release would be a worthy option I doubt they will. It would be up there with refunding the cost of a speeding tickets if you got caught going over 55 one year and now the speed limit is 65 or even 70.

You don't think they will release the guys in prison? I would get a lawyer and do an appeal or whatever the legal talk is if it were me. If it's not a crime to be in possession of the drug now, I would fight to get out.

OR, that is one of the songs that is high high high on my list of favorite songs.

But, you can tell that John Denver wasn't from Colorado because he pronounces it ColorODDo, rather than the way natives pronounce it: ColorADDo.

Also, I like John Denver's music, but I'm afraid he earned himself a Darwin Award. He didn't stop to think that neglecting to check the gas gauge in your car can result in inconvenience, but that neglecting to check the gas gauge in your private plane can result in death. Oops!

We're going to descend into the bottomless pit of gross immorality now, and then we'll fall just like Rome did.

It's inevitable. Weed does that, you know.

If, on the other hand, our society wants to build strong moral character, then everyone should do this:

I wonder if they will keep a running tab on the fast food joints (oops pun intended I guess) to see if there is an increase of business. Will try to add a munchie tax to certain like they tried to do here?

Anybody know how it's being taxed? I'm assuming it is subject to the "sin" taxes levied on alcohol in most states?

I'm down with it being legalized. But I imagine regulating it is an issue, as is the accurate tracking of other legal and social issues it creates.

Here's an interesting article to read. I don't know if it answers your questions, but it has some information on the rules.

Quote:

The recreational marijuana industry in Colorado will be regulated by the state revenue department.

The state department report sets very specific rules for recreational marijuana in Colorado from licensing to how a retail marijuana store should operate to how retail grow operations should function to marijuana testing to marketing and to labeling of marijuana products.

Quote:

All retail marijuana products must also contain these warning statements:

“There may be health risks associated with the consumption of this product.”
“This product is intended for use by adults 21 years and older. Keep out of the reach of children.”
“This product is unlawful outside the State of Colorado.”
“This product is infused with Retail Marijuana.”
“This product was produced without regulatory oversight for health, safety, or efficacy.”
“The intoxicating effects of this product may be delayed by two or more hours.

Quote:

Coloradans can also grow up to six plants -- with only three flowering at a given time -- in their home for personal use. Adults can possess up to an ounce of marijuana legally.

Adult tourists in Colorado are limited to purchasing only a quarter of an ounce.
